My name is Sandra Tam.    I am a year 12 student at Macgregor State High,
who is currently undertaking a research assignment regarding the issue of
technology and the law, that requires me to complete an interview with an
expert in this field.

 My focus is:
"Internet privacy, Censorship and the Law.  How the law keeps up with the
changes, what is should do and the difficulties in policing the technology."

I understand your time is valuable and thank you for your time and effort.
I have also complied a list of questions.
Thank you for your consideration

Yours sincerely
Sandra Tam

Questions:

1. Do you think the current laws are sufficient in protecting public,
private and consumer privacy on the internet?


2. Does Australia need a bills of rights or constitutional act, similar to
America's fourth amendment in relation to cyber rights and privacy?

3. How does the law deal with the problem of keeping up the changes of
technology that are currently available in society?

4. What do you think of the "Broadcasting Services Amendment (Online
Services) Bill?  Is it heavy-handed or justified?

5. Should the government have censorship over the internet?

6.  Do you think that ISP opting to adhere to the industry code of practice
is sufficient  in guaranteeing consumers privacy protection?

7.  Has anyone been prosecuted or accused of breaching email privacy?  Even
breaching censorship laws on the net?  If so, was the outcome just?

8.  In what ways should the law regulate the Internet and technology in the
future?

Thank you for your time.
